Indigo Lady, Comprehensive Hurricane Prep for Boaters

"My husband wants to cruise part of this hurricane season; not my preference. Thanks to this course, I'm less panicked. Wish I'd taken this earlier! After more time to digest all the great info I'll be even more prepared next season."

Alpha Carina, Storage Solutions

"Carolyn and her associates have taken a large amount of information and filtered down to the "need to knows". The course is worth taking, even for experience cruisers. Learn something or refresh something. Great job."

Ami Vos, Eating Well With A Tiny Fridge

"Loved this course. As we are moving aboard and I’m cleaning my galley, I was starting to fret over how to keep food in my 40 qt fridge. The ebook is great for offline viewing and referring to when needed, or just a reminder. Thanks!"

S/V Miles, VHF Radio: Everything You Need to Know

"Dual watch, DSC, mayday calls ... all de-mystified. I had to look in the user manual for my own VHF radio for which buttons to push, but this course taught me what the VHF can do for me, and how and why."

"We cruise on a small sailboat 70% of the year. We have a small 12V refrigerator for absolute necessities only. Reading Carolyn's book gave us ideas we hadn't even thought of! A must have for Boater's, RV'ers, off the grid living, Campers, Backpackers etc"

I now have the second edition of 'Storing Food Without Refrigeration' and learned even more! Thanks to Carolyn's guidance in food (and many other aspects), we are living the dream a..." Read more

"I have been enjoying the first edition as I plan for our cruise to the Bahamas this summer. One of our biggest stressors was the food and meal meal planning for we will not have refrigeration. This book has given me so many more more options than I thought possible. Looking forward to getting the second edition. Ordering today !"

Cory Nickerson star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt

"This is a tremendous comprehensive guide to provisioning food whether by sailboat, camping, or even at home. What does and doesn't need refrigerated saves energy and money while improving saftey and longevity of foods. As a sailor, we stock heavily, often times months of stores where items are cheaper before sailing to more expensive areas. We got this book..." Read more

If you aren’t familiar with Carolyn’s tenacious research and meticulous mind you are in for a treat.

"(This is for the second edition!) I've done a couple of extended cruises on our small sailboat with a small fridge, so feel like I'm fairly knowledgeable about this subject already. Carolyn's tips taught me a few things I didn't know, particularly around fridge organization and some practical recipes. Bravo for yet another indispensable on-board resource!"

"We will soon be embarking on the adventure of our lifetime, sailing the ocean blue!! I purchased the 1st edition for all the hints and boning up on NOT refrigerating food items. AND of course I started flat out with the MAYO. Carolyn explains that if you don't contaminate your Mayo it can stay out of the fridge. So true!! To help that along, we use the squir..." Read more
